This is way too overdue, so I'm going to try my best to get it out of the way. It won't be up until now, but it'll be until recently.

Summary of events, starting from the my mot… thread.

Out of charrie, shadow introduces herself as shadow of everywhere, a mercenary staying in room 13 of the Bog and Burrow Inn, and invites anyone who feels like it to come visit her.

shadow finds a radio and thinks she may be able to tap into B.I.G.'s transmissions. She doesn't, though, because Mina arrives, introduces herself, and talks with shadow for a while in her room. When Mina leaves, shadow puts up an ad for her services and goes to sleep. When she wakes up, there is a note asking her to come to the kitchens at midnight. She does, and meets a kitsune she refers to as fox-boy, who we later named Nicolai. He gives her 300 lupas, an invitation to an event, a map, and a mission to infiltrate B.I.G. and free the gryphon.

Mina recieves orders to go to the Taft Tavern in Northsole to find someone. When she arrives, she meets shadow, who can tell Mina has a dart gun. shadow storms out of the tavern when Mina doesn't deny that it's for killing her, but Mina catches up and explains that she's actually been sent to kill fox-boy. They argue about Mina's job, but become friends and travel east on horseback.

Mina explains her fear of horses to shadow, who tells Mina that she (shadow) might not be entirely human. They make camp, but get ambushed and tranquilized, waking up in a B.I.G. lab. Two scientists, a woman and an intern named Jared, talk and experiment on shadow. When she wakes up, her back hurts like heck, the scientists are taking fervent notes, Mina is staring, and she has wings.

Mina reassures shadow and is taken to be experimented on. 

Eliyana Fur Pawprint (Eli for short) crawls through the ventilation system, on a mission with Icy to rescue shadow, who, once she can't scream anymore, examines her wings and thinks.

Mina wakes up to Eli's appearance through a vent. B.I.G. workers promptly show up, but although Eli and Mina get darted, they manage to escape. Mina disguises herself as a B.I.G. worker, and they go to the kennels. Meanwhile, Jared uses a crowbar to pry apart the bars of shadow's cage. shadow finishes the job just in time for Mina and Eli to show up. Mina nearly kills Jared, but shadow stops her. They leave on Eli's reccomendation, and shadow frees the gryphon on the way out.

The group starts to set up camp and realize the place is where shadow and Mina got ambushed. shadow wants to look for Diana, the horse, but the others convince her they can't. Mina goes off to forage and checks her wound, which turns out to be poisoned, and she collapses, unconscious. The others tend to her, and Catastrophe arrives with a plan to make them join him. 

Mina has a dream/memory about when her family was killed. She wakes up, and a wolf comes and says some vague stuff. It leaves when Catastrophe reveals his presence and catches the arrow that shadow shoots at him when he tries to get her to join him.

Icy appears in the sky with a flock/herd of pegasi, and our group flies away.

shadow tries flying and successfully transfers Jake (Jared) from her pegasus to another. The pegasi give her some tips on flying, and Mina's claws grow frighteningly long. shadow grows suspicious and asks Mina what she's hiding, and what she knows about Catastrophe and the SOCS. Mina explains, and later notices that her fur is growing matted and her teeth are becoming fangs.

shadow and Mina talk about the poison in Mina's wound, and Mina starts to piece together the puzzle around it.

Alexander the bat appears and says hello, but nobody seems to like him. Mina loses control of herself and starts attacking everyone, wounding Alexander, and Eli darts her with a tranquilizer. The group lands and figures out what's going on with Mina, and Icy reveals her familial heritage.

Alexander orders his bats to find Mina, capture her, and bring her to him, which they do. shadow tells Jake and Icy about it. Mina tries to fight the bats, but one of them pressure points her and she passes out. When she wakes up, she and Alexander argue about his wing and Catastrophe, who appears with an explosion and an army. 

Poe Allen shows up at Alexander's cave and chases someone who is probably Catastrophe away. Icy, Jake, shadow and the pegasi follow Alexander's bats to his cave. Mina escapes with some fighting, running straight into Catastrophe's army. She and some vampires who randomly show up attack them. Catastrophe reappears and somehow controls Mina, likely through magic. Our group fights Catastrophe with some unexplained reinforcements. 

Mina gets abducted again, this time by Catastrophe, who drags her to a ship and knocks her out. She wakes up in a weird room, and a scientist tells her she's passed a test when she eventually gets out. Elsewhere, fox boy captures shadow, which the scientist with Mina is interrupted by a radio message about. The scientist tells the radio sender to throw shadow in the dungeon and continues telling Mina about her brain waves, although she's not listening anymore.

Mina fails an escape attempt, and a scientist named Maverly injects her with something that makes her pass out yet again. But when she wakes this time, she doesn't remember anything. Catastrophe tells her that her name is Ravage and to kill shadow and her friends.

shadow, captured, dreams about Sylvia and concludes that she is part Unicorn. Icy, somewhere else, does her hair and sneaks into Catastrophe's camp. She overhears a soldier mention Celesti in Catastrophe's presence, which gets him whipped, and then sees fox-boy with shadow notice her. However, Icy easily rescues shadow and sets the camp on fire.

Mina/Ravage is told of the incident and tracks down Icy and shadow. They don't know what's happened, so it's tragically easy for her to capture them. shadow calls Ravage Mina and a traitor, which Ravage is confused but uncaring about.

shadow sings and draws on the walls of her cell. Mina/Ravage walks up, and shadow asks her if she remembers anything. Mina/Ravage orders that shadow's interrogation begin. It does, despite Maverly's reluctance to bring shadow to the room for it. Maverly is there, too. Anyway, they begin to interrogate and torture shadow, who sings untilshe passes out from the pain.

shadow wakes up, and Maverly tells Ravage about the interrogation, and Ravage has Icy brought in to be killed if shadow won't talk. She doesn't, and neither does Icy. nstead they ask and tell Ravage about her past as Mina, and about Leva, which has an effect. Ravage shakes it off and restates that Icy will die if shadow doesn't talk, so she begins to, but just then an animal rescue team arrives. shadow and Icy escape with their help, and Ravage is knocked out and brought along. 

Ravage wakes up in a cell, unbound, and is soon brought to a restraint chair for interrogation/testing. She escapes it with the help of a spy from Catastrophe, but stops when she runs into Leva. They talk for a while, and the spy tells Ravage to work as a double agent. Ravage is recaptured, and later Leva, who she doesn't consider close to her, tells Ravage her past.

Ravage escapes her cell and overhears/sees Icy reveal the secrets of her wings, powers and heritage to shadow. They nearly expose her, but she says she wants to work with/for them. SOCS attacks, and everyone surrenders. They shoot Leva, and Mina/Ravage shreds the shooter's face in revenge. Icy buys them time to say goodbye, and then the SOCS soldiers take them away and set the place on fire.

Icy, Mina and shadow get loaded into crates and transported by airship. shadow sings, Icy sleeps and Mina cries. The others are quiet. Icy and shadow figure out there's a spy with them.

Some time later, Icy makes the guards pass out so Mina can pick the locks and they and shadow can escape. They do, although Mina lets slip about knowing Icy has wings, landing in the desert near Aslahari. They get through Alia, the guard, and meet Sienna, who brings them to her house. Mina drinks a potion that is supposed to reverse mutations, but instead turns her into a shapeshifter. shadow, when she wakes up, is upset about not getting any potion, but makes the best of it.

Icy and Mina go to the market, leaving her to rest, but she sneaks out and follows. She trades a guantlet for a crossbow and flies back to Sienna's. The four (Icy, Mina, shadow and Sienna) argue about shadow's venture, but resolve it and make a battle plan. Why a battle plan? Because Octavia and Catastrophe have invaded, of course! They bring Scions and carnage.

Icy and Mina go looking for a Power in Aslahari, and shadow fights in the battle that centers around Catastrophe. Waves of reinforcements arrive for both sides, mostly the ones protecting the city, and there's a lot more fighting. Icy, Jake and shadow walk through an airship and meet a rat named Bug when they come out. 

A post from shadow announcing that she's died ends the thread, and I am going to post this now because it is getting incredibly long.

I just almost got killed by BIG! They saw me flying and shot arrows at me because they thought I was a monster! By the way, I'm a human who has wings and talons so they got scared.

I'm new, so I don't understand all of the threads, but this is what I have so far:

The crows have some important information.

The Cypher is a BIG device used to translate animal languages

Their are three powers, Claaws, Fins, and Wings.

The Animals Guild/Club/thingy's mission is to destroy the Cypher (or steal it or something)

There are a lot of characters and side threads

That's it so far…….

I have a character, Summer the dragon. She's been summoned by a prophesy to destroy the Cypher and is looking for a place to join in. 

Okay, more long-overdue updating! I'll do a quick recap of the Underwater Ball thread, and then if I can I'll try summarizing the Aslahari thread, which the story continues onto.

So, there's a fancy cowboy-themed underwater ball happening off the east coast of Kyngdom, and nearly everyone is there, including Claaws, Caelani, Ecio, and Blazing Star, Guardian of the Power of Hoof, because the Guardian of the Power of Fin is to be announced there. But the punch is spiked with Brazen Goo, which affects guests in different ways, and the ice sculpture of Finny, the prime candidate for Guardian, is real. Blazing Star runs at the threat of her Power being stolen, and Laya, a being trapped in the body of a fox, types a code into the keypad at the ice sculpture's base, shattering it and freeing Finny. Icy then sets off an underwater firework that breaks the dome surrounding the ball just as Catastrophe shows up, effectively ending the ball. Everyone makes it out okay, but in the confusion, the Power of Fin is stolen and Finny disappears. It's not clear where either of them go. 

The air-breathers manage to put together at least one makeshift raft from floating debris, and spend two days there, accidentally going away from land. On the second evening, Jaaws shows up, and she and Claaws battle in the stormy sky that gathers. Claaws loses, turns back into an instrument, and falls to the bottom of a deep underwater chasm. Jaaws flies off, and the night and most of a day pass before Laria spots a B.I.G. research ship. We all get on the ship to avoid being pulled through its propellers, and another night and day pass. In the middle of the second night, Ronan gets attacked by a girl named Marsha Yearwood, and then Whist shows up with a huge flock of possessed birds and kidnaps him. Initial rescue attempts fail, but Caelani follows the birds to an abandoned inn in a tiny fishing town and watches as Catastrophe removes Ronan's shadow, and then reveals himself, only to get his own shadow removed as well.

Meanwhile, the ship has crashed on a reef, and we've made a small temporary alliance with B.I.G. and take the lifeboats to land near the Hardswallow River, where Jaaws went after her battle with Claaws. But we don't run into her. Instead, we make camp and receive a radio signal from Aslahari saying that they need our help; Catastrophe is there. Caelani and Ronan escape the inn and arrive at the camp just as we finish preparations. We set off, and my charrie Lycaella goes home to call backup and finds out that shadows can be sewn back on if the needle is made from the bone of a magic or mythic creature. The others make it to Aslahari, which is a battleground, and the thread ends with Jaaws being taken captive by sea dragons. 

That was surprisingly short. On to Aslahari!

Aslahari, the beautiful city, is a flourishing trade center in the Southern Deserts of Kyngdom. It is soon to be inspected by Catastrophe's army, however, and shadow, Icy and Mina (brainwashed into being a spy/general for Catastrophe named Ravage) escape the airship they've been on and end up there. Sienna greets them and brings them to her house, where she gives Mina/Ravage a potion that accidentally turns her into a shapeshifter, and shadow rests. She doesn't need much rest, though, and sneaks out and gets a crossbow when Mina/Ravage and Icy go to the market without her.

Octavia arrives to occupy the city using her horde of Scions, those giant mechanical bug things, and a terrible battle begins when Catastrophe shows up as well. It's huge and long, everyone fighting for their lives against at least one army. Icy and shadow get captured and are freed by Jake. But Icy gets kidnapped by a tree monster, and shadow is run down into an alley and shot by Mina/Ravage, who has revealed her loyalty to Catastrophe. Icy is freed, and Ronan arrives. Their side pulls out, leaving Catastrophe to rule the Southern deserts. shadow miraculously revives, sparing Ravage and flying away. 

Ronan and some others gather in a forest and activate Ayearth, the Power of Fin, but he is poisoned by Brazen Goo and comes out of his instrument mutated and evil, possessed by Jaaws. Fortunately, a short wizard appears and cures him with a spell. There is some minor tumult in Aslahari, but it settles down when Catastrophe makes an alliance with Octavia and Elliot. There the thread ends, continuing at least partially on The Aftermath Of….

Well, that's done. Now I just have to figure out what happened next.

I feel like a historian with some sort of writer's block. Ah, well. I'll try to keep this up if I can…

Just a note: It seems that each month in Kyngdom is about four months outside of it, so each month irl is 7.5 days in Kyngdom, and each week irl should cover 1.75 Kyngdom days, or 42 hours. So a full 24-hour day in our lives is about 6 hours in Kyngdom, and the time ratio in general is 4:1. This is based on the assumption that between early June 2016 and today, almost four months have passed in-story.
